Early on in her tenure as Trump’s AG, #PamBondi scrapped a #Biden era policy that banned the #DOJ from pursuing #reporters’ phone records & notes while investigating #leaks.The message was unmistakable: #Trump era investigators would welcome a confrontation. And now they have one.#law #Constitution #democracy #FreePress #FirstAmendment #FreeSpeech #journalism #FourthEstate #censorship #authoritarianism #autocracy #dictatorship #fascism #tyranny #SevenMountainMandate https://www.cnn.com/2026/01/15/media/fbi-hannah-natanson-washington-post-doj-search?cid=ios_app

This week, the #DOJ took the extraordinary step of obtaining a search warrant for the home of a #WashingtonPost reporter #HannahNatanson. #FBI agents arrived early on Wednesday & seized Natanson’s phone, 2 computers & her Garmin watch.Inside the WaPo newsroom, the impact was immediate.#law #Constitution #democracy #FreePress #FirstAmendment #FreeSpeech #journalism #FourthEstate #censorship #authoritarianism #autocracy #despotism #dictatorship #fascism #tyranny #SevenMountainMandate

#Reporters called the search “incredibly disturbing” & unprecedented. #HannahNatanson met with #WashingtonPost lawyers & security experts, scrambled to line up her own outside legal counsel, & urged her colleagues to keep reporting.Until now, Gabe Rottman of the Reporters Committee for #FreedomOfThePress said, the #DOJ had “never executed a search warrant at the home of a reporter in a national security leak case.”#Trump #law #Constitution #FreePress #FirstAmendment #journalism #censorship

But now that the line has been crossed, some #journalists & #media lawyers expect it will happen again.#Trump allies at the #DOJ have been “itching to do this,” a law enforcement reporter told CNN.#PamBondi’s revised policy, which went into effect last May, weakened her predecessor Merrick Garland’s protections for the media & reflected Trump’s personal frustration with the #press.#law #Constitution #democracy #FreePress #FirstAmendment #FreeSpeech #journalism #FourthEstate #censorship

@Nonilex the line was crossed when Jamal Khashoggi, a journalist, was dismembered by Saudi Arabia and the US president, Trump, dismissed it. Repeatedly. It's just a matter of time for the line to fade into the distance.
